Sorry For You.
I see the poser's out there who loathe me for the things they don't understand.
They waste so much energy I'm left in bewilderment, they still have the strength to stand.
They are so brazen with all that attitude, when really I don't care.
I've always been complacent with my own actions, I won't fall into the traps of despair.
You see I've built this atmosphere around me, this environment in which I dwell.
It transcends your comprehension, so like in the real world you won't fair so well.
So keep on walking down that lonely street, the transient you are.
You can have your fools share of the laughter as I walk under these stars.
There's no dust left to kick up, nobody is listening anymore.
The vile you have always spread has been slammed behind the door.
All that`s left are broken memories, and a little cocaine to numb the pain.
While you are living with your deceptions, I`ll say my good-bye while your still sane.
You have forsaken all the things you once were to try and be bigger than your are.
I guess you thought a certain prestige would follow you, now your beaten down, and charred.
Maybe in time you will see and rectify the things that put you here.
Then you could climb out of that hole your in and breathe the air which is so clear.
It`s all up to you to face your lies and all the pain to other`s you have brought.
Seeing oneself in the mirror to truly face your sins, is a respect that is never bought.
